Chapter 7 Online Safety Security
Chapter 8 Systemic Issues
Chapter 9 New Schools
CHAPTER 7 NOTES (4 A's): Chapter 7 Onlie Safety and Security Assumption: Parents knew it was their responsibility to guide their students to the new. In fact the schools don't teach it a lot. Agree: We should take more time to express the importance of safety and security on the internet. Parents are the first teachers. Argue: It's the parents who should know what is going on with their child's education including school technology. Aspire: To have faculty and staff on the same page as page in regards to internet safety and security.
CHAPTER 8 NOTES (4 A's):
Chapter 8 Systemic Issues Assumption: Every student has access to technology Agree: Blogging and social networking increase comprehenion and communication in ESOL students Argue: What is the reality of actually having the equpiment (the problem with the "IPOD" brand vs. Microsoft Aspire: All students have equal access
CHAPTER 9 NOTES (4 A's): Chapter 9 New School Assumption: The assumes a) that there is a funding to bring this technology utopia to fruition and b) that parents will be financially able to support and encourage their child's use of technology. Agree: We agree with the author's statement that, "The need exists to expand universal service to provide poor and rural areas with broadband." This applies to us because so many of our students do not have acess to the internet at home. Argue: We disagree with the author's vision that our students will be able to complete in the global market because, as of now, our country does not fund education as much as it should. We continue to lag behind other countries in terms of technology as they continue to make cuts in educational funding. Aspire: We will aspire to suscribe to the author's vision of having technology integrated classrooms if we are given the ways and means to achieve this lofty goal..
